GRAZ - International technology group Andritz has received an order from Turkish nonwovens manufacturer Lotus Teknik Tekstil, to install a Metris All-In-One digitalisation platform for its new Wetlace CP nonwovens production line.
The integration will be finalised in September 2023.
The Metris All-in-One platform developed by Andritz is designed to provide full support for industrial plants throughout their entire life cycle.
It combines a complete range of functionalities for professional production management, simulation and optimisation using the latest artificial intelligence methods, as well as cyber security, and condition monitoring with smart sensors in an integrated approach.
The installation of the system will support Lotus Teknik Tekstil in further optimizing the operating efficiency of its Andritz Wetlace CP line by ensuring a stable production process via data collection and process monitoring and reducing operational costs through optimized production traceability and energy monitoring.
It will also improve final product quality thanks to a stable process, and reduce production waste by optimizing raw material management.
Ceyhun Zincirkiran, co-owner and managing director of Lotus Teknik Tekstil A.Åž., said: “We have already gained positive experience with a Metris installation on our spunlace line from Andritz, and so we are confident that the comprehensive Metris All-In-One solution will take the production performance of our new Andritz Wetlace CP line to an even higher level.”
Lotus Teknik Tekstil A.Åž. is a member of the Sapro group, one of the top three producers of wet wipes globally.
